I found out yesterday that my friend Stacy's brother passed away on Thursday August 4th. Staff Sgt. Chad Simon, a member of the 2-24 Marines Company G, was injured in Iraq on November 8, 2004. He was in hospitals in Iraq, Bethesda MD, Minnesota and finally back here for a little while. Then he went to hospice last month, and his feeding tube was removed a couple weeks ago. 32 years old. He didn't have to die. But he died for us. I have the utmost respect for him. His memory will live forever. And my deepest sympathies go out to his family.
Chad is a recipient of the Purple Heart, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (three times) and a Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
